Re: Video Walkthrough of How I Use the Acorn
This chart was supplied with the probe I guess? I have used some types of probes in the <200€ range and made probemaps with them. Non was as good as a KP3, but maybe ok for hobby.

Re: nc files
default paths are defined in the pathl.ini file, but you can navigate to any folder.
